I am looking seriously at the 15’ Wave Destroyer. The only thing that bums me out a little is the 22” tube diameter. I can see it on the smaller boats but on the 14 and 15 foot boats it seems small to me. If they were larger, say 23 or even 24 inches on the 15, I would be able to get away with one boat. It seems to me that it would still be just as white-water capable, but it would be able to handle multi days better. And it would create just a little more clearance under the frame.
Here’s the problem….I don’t know diddly. It seems like a good idea to me, but what do I know? Would a 23 or 24” tube indeed be just as white-water capable? Would the increase in height make it too top heavy? I like Aires stuff, and they have engineers that are smart and went to college and stuff, so I don’t presume to know better, but I am a thinker. I know that I won't ever sway Aire, but I just thought I would put this discussion out there to a lot of people who know the sport and have much more experience with such things. Just a discussion. Thanks for your input.
